Popular things you wouldn't even do for free... (Glastonbury for me)

[BringYourOwnBullshit]

Me? Glastonbury. There isn't enough vodka in Russia to get me there. Too many people, too much noise, hay fever, having to piss and shit (both of which I need to do a lot) in shared portaloos probably with no bog roll, not having a proper shower or proper anything wash wise, feeling sticky and unclean, not having a real bed to sleep in. The list goes on and on and on. If someone offered me £50,000 to go from the very beginning to the very end I'd probably consider it but even then I doubt I'd bite. If I did I'd probably die of misery by day two anyway. Utter, utter misery.

What's yours?

Any concert Anywhere The crowds of people frightened me at the MEN at the interval. I was carried along with them..I could hardly breathe. Never again.

Well I was lucky enough to do Glastonbury back in 1986, the last time you could squeeze through the wire fencing and get in for free..what a blast..not like now, as you said too busy too many people, though I’d like to have seen some of the acts in the last 20 years.
also did the Edinburgh festival (and new yrs eve) back in the ‘90’s, again brilliant. Now not so sure.
again saw Robbie Williams back in 2000 and something, he was a brilliant entertainer.
Wouldnt do if you paid me,
live in any city
as already said go to Blackpool
get Botox or fillers
eat dog cat or horse (mad I love sheep hens pigs and cows)
sing karaoke (unless 3 sheets to the wind, never gonna happen, barely drink now)!
I think us older ladies got the better of some of the gigs around, ie festivals or ‘pop stars’ as it was mor real in those days, no phones, a few illegals thrown in for good measure and you actually spoke to people, didn’t dress up, just went as you were and loved it, rain thunderstorms or sunshine.

China and far east, too much cruelty.

Football game, I’m a rugby fan
Botox
cruise
Benidorm
live in America

To to Wimbledon, I can't think of anything I'd hate more than being around the cretins on Henman Hill or whatever it's called now.

Abba voyage , if they can’t be bothered to turn up in person neither can I. ( might do it for a million though !)

Another vote for Glastonbury 🤢
Have to admit that I love a cruise though 😂

Spa/massage
Fancy dress party
Yikes!

You’d never get me to Glastonbury either!

I found this post really interesting.

I loved Dubai and Disney. Skiing (many years ago) Ed Fringe (I’m
in a choir that’s singing there this year). Spa days - heaven. Cruises - great.
Camping - ugh!
Cricket - boring.

Historical films and dramas that don’t stick to the facts. Apart from
The Tudors!

Love Island or similar - no thanks!

Camping…. Most things I will try at least once, but, camping…. I think I could go as far as glamping, but camping (or anything involving it) I just draw the line at and I consider myself relatively low maintenance.

Dance - I can’t and it will never happen

Most of the things mentioned, esp Glastonbury and living in London.
Plus: going to a Formula 1 race or any kind of rugby (or cricket for that matter!) match.
But I once felt the same about Dubai and then I went and it does have merits.
Also, Edinburgh Festival is great as long as you get the inside knowledge on what to see (and, importantly, what not to see!)

The Lady Boys of Bangkok

Theme parks, especially the large ones
Skiing
Fine dining
Long haul flight
Cosmetic surgery including botox
Climbing Everest

ABBA Voyage is amazing !
They don't perform now so having the Avators ( ABBAtars ?) is the next best thing to seeing them live which I missed out on .
You could always send along your AI/CGI in your place they cannot argue with that .

If Queen ever decide to avator themselves I will be right there waiting to see them .

Go on a cruise

A holiday to Dubai. Absolutely no way an I going to that tacky hell hole.

Exactly the same as you, OP.

Also: traveling to tropical/humid regions, no matter how stunning they are.

Botox/fillers.

Hair extensions.

Concerts at large stadiums.

'Bottomless' brunches.

Have a gender reveal or a baby shower for that matter.

And probably many more things.

I've been to just one on your list and let me tell you watching a fully grown man stand in a child's paddling pool pouring a a 2 litre bottle of water over himself was something I would NEVER EVER consider entertainment..
Yes, it was as awful as it sounds, no amount of alcohol could improve what we witnessed that night.. (it was a hen party and we tried to get out of it!!!!)

The best part by far was the miniature Aunt Bessie Yorkshire puddings filled with cold fish fingers.. 😬

Drive in cinema, - why would I want to watch aovie from my car, how do the people on the back even see, doesn't it get very cold/hot, the car isnt even that comfortable, the windows would steam up and it's always something like Grease or Home alone that we've seen 100 times before.

Dubai.
Karaoke.
Camping
Skiing.
Butlins.
Turkey.
Matcha.
Owning pets.

Disney and any theme parks ( done both even the kids were miserable).
Any type of ‘beauty’ treatment, Im not paying to look worse/ ill/ like a frozen fish
Drink alcohol
Camping/ canal boats/ motorhomes
Sex ( would for 50k though 🤣)
Ski-ing, most sports actually

Any overnight festival, camping in general.
Cruises.
Nightclubs.
Disneyland/world.
A few more things but I already sound like a misery guts so I'll stop here.

Festivals
Overcrowded pubs with loud music
Raucous Parties

Horrible!

Any "extreme" sport like base jumping and the like. Nope.

Skiing too. I can't see the point of it.

Like pp, anywhere crowded. I am also sworn off music gigs of any kind because idiots throw beer (and worse) over you.

I did camping recently and decided it's not for me. My minimum accommodation requirement is a camper van or caravan. On the other end of the scale I hate AI resorts (soulless places with crap food) and five star hotels (because I'm paying for stuff I'll never use). I am 3* all the way.

I would never be a sitter for a spicy cat or a dangerous dog.

Botox and weight management jabs. I'm not good with jabbing sharp objects in my skin.

Get married again. More trouble than it's worth.
